Accepted Solution

Hi @Johnny,In the current design, App Patrol is able to block WhatsApp/Line and allow other traffic but unable to allow only WhatsApp/Line and block all other traffic.On USG series, we can use the other way to block most traffic except WhatsApp with the following steps.However, this method doesn't guarantee all other traffic can be blocked and UAG5100 does not support FQDN address object.Without FQDN object, you have to find out all IP addresses for WhatsApp and create the address object one by one.(1) Add FQDN address for WhatsApp and group them in a group “IP-whatsapp”.a. *.whatsappb. whatapp.*
(2) Add service port for WhatsApp and group them in a group “Ports-whatsapp”.TCP: 5222,5223, 5228, 4244, 5242, 80, 443(3) Add policy control rule and block others traffic.5
